Governing Service Identification In A Service Oriented Architecture ('SOA') Governance Model
First Claim
1. A method of governing service identification in a Service Oriented Architecture (‘
- SOA’
) governance model, the methodreceiving a set of input parameters for identifying candidate services for the SOA;
determining whether the set of input parameters comply with a predetermined input parameter validation policy;
if the set of input parameters comply with a predetermined input parameter validation policy, identifying in dependence upon the set of input parameters one or more candidate services available for the SOA in existing SOA business applications;
determining whether each candidate services available in existing SOA business applications complies with a predetermined service selection policy; and
if one of the candidate services available in existing SOA business applications complies with a predetermined service selection policy, selecting the candidate service as a service available for the SOA; and
communicating the identification of that selected service to relevant stakeholders in the SOA.

Abstract
Methods and systems for governing service identification in an SOA governance model according to embodiments of the present invention are provided. Embodiments include receiving a set of input parameters for identifying candidate services for the SOA; determining whether the set of input parameters comply with a predetermined input parameter validation policy. If the set of input parameters comply with a predetermined input parameter validation policy, governing service identification includes identifying in dependence upon the set of input parameters one or more candidate services available for the SOA in existing SOA business applications and determining whether each candidate services available in existing SOA business applications comply with a predetermined service selection policy. If one of the candidate services available in existing SOA business applications complies with a predetermined service selection policy, governing service identification includes selecting the candidate service as a service available for the SOA and communicating the identification of that selected service to relevant stakeholders in the SOA.
